Well, Everett was tried a couple of times last year and did a job on Sloan really well so I would like to see White take on that role and that leaves Everett more versatile.

White has been working on it this year after a discussion with Mick. Love to see him set his mind to it. Worked a treat on Martin

Bondi, you make me laugh... No issue with Bells skills on Thursday night...... Gee whiz!!
You can be slow like, Mitchell, Watson or Selwood, but those boys have skill, Bell and Curnow don't., not the only ones..
We will finish outside the 8 which hurts very much, but time for players like Tutt, Boekhorst, Buckley, Whiley, Dick and Rainbow to be getting games just like Bell and Curnow were getting, no chance of us winning games/finals with ordinary footballers.. Bell and Curnow aren't the only average players..
I believe Cripps, Carrazzo and Whiley can play well together, but that's all from the slow boys..
Cripps as the give it to the runners, Carrazzo as the shut down and Whiley as the hard nut..
We have spoken about our poor draft choices, we need to move forward and see who is worth keeping and who is worth moving on.. It's a long year ahead..
With Jaksch out, Casboult needs to come in..
Wood and Warnock as our ruck choices whilst Kreuzer gets back, yep move on.....
Reckon we have 15 good players just need to find the next 5 or so to make us better,
Just my silly opinion

Correct...knowing Whitey personally this is the role that MM has groomed him for over the summer...

Ok gents. So now will play with 4 taggers every week then - Carrazzo, Curnow, White & Everitt. I can see how we are going to win games of footy. Actually that will be 3 in through the midfield and 1 defensive forward and 4 defenders. Or is that 2 defensive forwards when Ellard comes in as well......

Martin isn't in the same league as those other names, who would destroy White as an opponent. We shouldn't be using him in midfield.


All fair points, though I think in hindsight we should have kept Hampson and jettisoned Warnock, discarded Ellard at the end of last year, traded 19 for Mitch Clark, then signed Taylor Hunt, Shaun Higgins and James Frawley.

We never would have signed Liam Jones, Dick or Tutt, though we probably would have had to take 5-10% off everyone else's wages. Not sure they would have cared though.

It frees up Everett to be more versatile

Hey Baz, I don't want to get into a slugging match but did you notice where Everitt was playing against the tigers and on who and in what role? Just wondering.

No offence Jimmae but we can't turn back time.

You can save yours by not joining the should've, could've, would've brigade.

You're better than that.

I was making a point.

Not a very good one.

Hampson has been just as useless at Richmond as he was at Carlton. The difference is they have already worked it out, it took us 6 years! Mitch Clark was never available for trade, he chose to go to a team that was challenging in the top half of the ladder. Same with Higgins and Frawley. The knock on our list is that we have too many taggers and you'd add Taylor Hunt??!!!!

What is Matthew Dick at this point, if not a tagger?

If you can afford them, juggle their requirements and sign them simultaneously, wouldn't you? Clark was available, and we would have won the bidding from Melbourne's point of view.
